Andre Jackson has the best hops in UConn history

[uchusky32]

I'll keep saying it...if this guy can become even an average shooter he's a top 10 recruit.

Shush, this is our secret.

And this:

Cuse fans after we got him:
- wE dOnT wAnT sOmEoNe wHo cAnT sHoOt!
- I dOnT cArE hE cAnT sHoOt!

They are working on his shot mechanics. It's going to take time. Coaches are working with his hs coach.

Seriously. Big east might as well stop recruiting for A few years if he can hit 35% + at a decent clip. Shooting makes him a complete player. Every other hole in his game is just nitpicking

 

[husky429]

And this:

Does he ever say his final total? Team ended up with 75. Sounds like he could have dropped 26 and not a good chunk of the 2nd half when his team was leading

30 through 3 quarters, guessing he didn't play the 4th.

Have to like his confidence.
Watch "Albany Academy - Andre Jackson - Preseason 2019" on YouTube

You see a box score? 3 pt and FT% woukd be great to track this season. Even 30% from deep would be such an improvement.

My goodness

 

[aburks41]

His shot seems to be getting better....

If Andre Jackson is knocking down 3’s.........what can’t he do?

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Promising, but I'd like to see him jump over the ACC ROY & player of the year and steal the ball before we crown him

IMO, best athlete ever to play at UConn. If Andre even comes close it’ll be thrilling.

 

[UconnU]

Kid is knocking down 3s now? This Bouk, AJ, Akok 2-4 is going to be SCARY good.

 

[intlzncster]

Glad Cuse didn't nab him. Not just for the obvious, but because I think it'll be damn for to watch him play real man to man D.

 

[UConnKev]

 

[Waquoit]

Sounds like our staff is already coaching the guy up.

 

[Psolo12]

Him coming down the lane full speed is terrifying

 

[Chin Diesel]

The opposing players look like high schoolers compared to AJ.

 

[Chin Diesel]

That one at the :16-:20 second mark? Just wow.

 

[UconnU]

Never forget Syracuse’s talking point about losing Jackson to us was that he was afraid playing time wouldn’t be there, was afraid of competition lol.

 

[NJHoops]

4-6 from the line
4-8 from three

It’s not a good looking shot yet, but if it works and is repeatable, it’s a good place to start. His current coaches have been receptive to feedback from his future ones. Everyone wants this guy to be great.

 

[mauconnfan]

Take a good look at the 2 guards in play around the :24 mark. Not sure this was even a HS team what are they doing playing this team? Nothing taken away from Andre and his amazing athleticism but it hardly looked like a fair fight. Really happiest to see the shooting numbers and the improvement there. If he can just make some shots he will be special.

 

[tentoes4rings]

Is it fair to say similar skill set to Hami Daillo? Suspect outside shot but through the roof athletic.

I’d compare him more to Kelly Oubre with a better vertical.

 

[jibsey]

He dunks with zero effort or stress, I use more energy tying my shoes.
